How to Quickly and Efficiently Plan Your Small Group Instruction

Planning small group or guided reading lessons can take a long time - especially if you’re doing it every week!
In this video, I share the 1 strategy that has made a HUGE difference for me. It’s helped me plan my lessons quickly and easily, without the back and forth of “what should I work on with this group?”
Get the small group guide I showed in the video by joining the Kindergarten Literacy Club or 1st & 2nd Grade Literacy Club! We accept new members twice a year, but you can get on the waitlist anytime here:

Thanks for sharing the Small Group Instruction binder.

Have you ever had students work on a word independently for a while, but then you realize they didn’t even know what the word said? - tell me YES in the comments if this has ever happened to you!

I try to have 3 groups daily - 20-25 minutes each group

[@andreathom7587]

The Literacy Club was a life saver for me! As a first time grade 2 teacher, the resources saved me so much time planning for my small reading groups.

[@learningattheprimarypond]

So glad to hear!!

[@estiner0516]

20 minutes a group, one rotation

[@juancarlosamadorvillarello1978]

20 minutes, per group, 2 rotations.

[@ashleymox1533]

I have 3 groups and sadly I only have 6 minutes with each group because of when we do our reading groups. Our early morning time has been divided so much with teaching time and specialist classes.

[@learningattheprimarypond]

Oh yikes!! You may want to consider only seeing 2 groups a day (or even 1!) and doing a rotating schedule. I bet it's super hard to get a lot in during that short of a time frame.

[@tahminaamin9532]

Can you please make a full plan for one week for Kindergarten.

[@learningattheprimarypond]

We usually work with my kids for 10 minutes.

Hello, can you please explain why there is a waitlist? Is there a way to just access these resources without waiting or enrolling?

[@learningattheprimarypond]

Hi! The clubs only open twice a year, January and July. So in between those months, there is a waitlist to join. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Right now I do fifteen minutes of small group. However, I'm trying to get to 30 to 45 minutes of small group

[@learningattheprimarypond]

It's always so tough to fit it all in!
